This year, the Wanalea family celebrated the International Children's Day in a very special way. On June 1st 2014, a team of UCI, a company that supports ADDHU and this particular project, came to visit the Wanalea Children's Home...

In June 2014, we finished the construction of the Sondra Myers Library at the Wanalea Children's Home. It was a very special day for all of us and the outcome of ADDHU's local team's excellent and hard work.

It is now possible to support ADDHU’s feeding program in the slum and to sponsor the meals of a needy child for only 10 Euros per month! ADDHU’s new program “Feed a Child” allows anyone interested in helping these kids to make a lasting and positive difference in their lives by making monthly donations and ensuring the continuation of ADDHU’s life-saving food aid program.

Sanitary Pads Distribution

Many women and young Kenyan girls who live in extreme poverty conditions don’t have access to basic hygiene products such as sanitary pads, due to their elevated costs. In order to protect themselves, they use old sheets and blankets, and even leaves from the trees. Because of this problem, many young girls don’t go to school during their menstruation, which can have severe repercussions in their academic development and education.

Besides the obvious consequences in terms of health and hygiene, we believe this is also a question of dignity. Therefore, every year, ADDHU distributes more than 3,000 packs of sanitary pads to young girls and women from the slums, the IDP camps of Naivasha, as well as the rural area of Kisii. These sanitary pads are donated by a Portuguese company (Renova), and also collected through some street campaigns and with the help of our supporters and volunteers.

If you want to support this cause by donating sanitary pads, please contact us!
